President Joe Biden speaks with former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe during a rally in October. | Alex Brandon/AP PhotoThe sharp swing away from Democrats last week in Virginia and New Jersey has the party newly alarmed about even more vulnerable governorships across the country next year.
Democrats hold the governorship in eight states up in 2022 that are less or similarly favorable than Virginia — Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — a grouping that has topped Republicans’ target list since the election cycle began.
The key for Democrats, Oxman and others said, would be a turnaround in the political atmosphere — one that could still change over the next year, especially given how much it has changed since the 2020 election. It is about “whether Biden and the administration will get its act together and make it a little more even playing field for Democrats — or it's going to be as bad as it has been for us, because they haven’t been able to get it together,” he said.
One of the keys for Democrats will be to develop a response to the newly-emboldened GOP. “You’re going to see Republicans try to run on the Youngkin playbook, and Democrats need an aggressive answer that defines Republicans on education, particularly around taking money out of public schools,” said Jared Leopold, a veteran consultant who was a top staffer at the Democratic Governors Association in previous cycles.
Remember politico is no longer considered unbiased and neutral in their content but now have shifted more toward RIGHT WING propaganda. That’s What Axel Springer brought to the company when in purchased politico in 2021.

hifromSD va was a warning seditious & trumptaliban are starting (figurative) fires in the BURBS ESPECIALLY in red states. POTUS call them what they are DomesticTerrorists
It could also add more trouble for republicans
“Based on something from a year ago this could happen” ain’t news, my guy.
Except VA & NJ behaved the way they usually do in gubernatorial elections. I don't really see how that spells trouble. What should spell trouble is the dems' lack of cohesiveness in messaging
The party in office has lost these 2 governorships alot. This go 'round they won one, yet, the media emphasis is on the loss, not the unusual win. Stop doing GOP's bidding! We went through 5 years of crime, grift and deterioration of our republic because of this stupidity! Stop!!
Why…what happened in New Jersey?
Lol No
Or not.
Dems should keep going after parents calling them Domestic Terrorists and saying they have no say in thier children’s education. Go Dems!
are you hoping?
When will Americans learn?
Remember when wasn't run by right wing hacks?
Yeah except Murphy won by 3 points and Youngkin by 1ish so I'm not really seeing a big problem here
Yes huge loss for Democrats in NJ by (check notes) winning the governorship
Politico is useless
